Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- 1 tablespoon (6 g) black tea leaves or 1 tea bag
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole, almond, oat, or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) ground cinnamon
- Sweetener to taste (honey, sugar, or maple syrup)
Instructions
- Start by boiling 1 cup (240 ml) of water in a teapot or saucepan.
- Once the water reaches a rolling boil, pour it over the tea leaves in your teapot or saucepan and allow the tea to steep for about 3-5 minutes.
- While the tea is steeping, measure out 1 cup (240 ml) of milk and heat it in a separate saucepan over low heat until warm, but do not let it boil.
- Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) of ground cinnamon to the warm milk, stir gently, and let it sit for a minute to infuse the flavors.
- After the tea has steeped to your liking, strain it into a large mug or cup using a fine mesh strainer if needed.
- Pour the warm milk mixture over the brewed tea and stir well to combine the flavors.
- Add sweetener to taste, stirring until dissolved. For a frothy effect, use a whisk or frother to blend the milk and tea together.
- Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for garnish and enjoy your cozy vanilla cinnamon milk tea!
Notes
For a frothy texture, use a milk frother or whisk. Adjust steeping time based on your taste preference.
